How to use the law firm profiles section
The profile section contains a list of firms that have taken out commercial profiles in The Legal 500. While the editorial is independent from the commercial profiles, the profiles allow in-house counsel to see an overview of the firm's strengths, locations, key contacts, individual lawyer biographies (all provided by the firm) alongside the firm's current rankings. This provides an easy one-stop-shop for corporate counsel and legal procurement departments to gather information on firms they are looking to instruct.

Korean Supreme Court Confirms Licensee’s Standing to Challenge Patent Validity
On February 21, 2019, the Supreme Court of Korea issued an en banc decision overruling its prior precedents on the issue of whether a licensee who is continuing to make royalty payments under an existing license agreement nevertheless has standing to challenge the validity of the licensed patent. In short, the Korean Supreme Court held that absent special circumstance, a patent licensee is an “interested party” eligible for challenging the validity of a licensed patent, despite the lack of any threat or potential threat posed by the patent holder against the licensee’s right to use the patented invention. (Supreme Court En Banc Decision No. 2017Hu2819). -
